Rappers, Concert Venue Sued Over Railing Collapse Incident

Lawyers representing 17 people injured when a railing collapsed at a Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert in New Jersey have filed a lawsuit against the venue’s operator and the performers claiming they didn’t take enough precautions to ensure concertgoers would be safe. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in a Philadelphia court, doesn’t specify what damages are being sought. But attorney Robert J. Mongeluzzi said his clients want to prevent future incidents and deserve monetary compensation. The plaintiffs include 14 concertgoers and three workers, including one who suffered a fractured spine, attorneys say.
